EVE General Discussion

The tinfoil is strong with this one.

you trollin me??

sorry if I confused you, but yeah that info was concluded years ago. with some research you'll figure it out.



Edit:
Confirming US Government "accidentally" lots of things. Right?

This is starting to get derailed.

this is the 2nd attempt for this bill to try and get passed through. this bill is very dangerous. it goes beyond just just censorship. it gives any business the right to have another business censored off of american isps. not just pirated material. big business, who is really lobbing to get this bill pushed through, can have anyone removed off search engines like google. if they see a rival up and comming with a product even remotely similar to theres, they can have there rival shut down completely. a lot of people think its just about censoring free speech. it is, but its main goal really is to shut out smaller businesses. piracy will exist with or without this bill, anyone who knows anything about piracy can tell you that. it will do nothing whatsoever to stop it.

if this bill passes, kiss the "old" internet goodbye for americans. say hello to china and iran. rather then keeping your people surpressed for political reasons, they will be for more capital.

It's rarely US troops that are hit, usually its the other coalition member who refuse to take our radio equipment*cough*Britain*cough*, cause seriously **** those guys.

I'm a Chinese obtaining a passport issued by People's Republic of China. I speak perfect English and play EVE.

And my country has theoretically created the biggest censorship and mantained the biggest tyranny in human history.

Why am I still here?

*cough*

Exhibit 1.

Exhibit 2.

What is worse? Censorship or media spoon feeding?

There's a lot of truth in that one.

Just as an FYI: The National Defense Authorization Act, which declares the entire United States a "battlefield", allows the US Military to detain indefinitely without trial or evidence anyone, to include United States citizens. Goodbye, due process and everything the Constitution stands for.

Additionally, as an active battlefield, the US Military has the legal authority to shoot and kill any "suspected terrorists". It also goes on to say that the following people qualify as "suspected terrorists": people with missing fingers, anyone with multiple guns in their home, anyone with more than seven-days worth of food in their home, anyone who owns weatherproof ammunition.

Yeah, being able to play video games is in jeopardy, as well as torrenting music, videos or just about anything else you can do on the internet. But, a 93-7 vote in the United States Senate just pushed America a little bit closer to becoming a very difficult place to call "the land of freedom."

Interesting to note, is the fact that the NDAA uses the phrase "to protect the homeland". In the late 1930s and early 1940s, there was a European country that also used the phrase "to protect the homeland". Now, I'm not trying to equate current America to that particular time in a nation's history. However, Benjamin Franklin once said "those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

If you're in the United States, I urge you to contact your Congressperson and your Senator and tell them to stop sacrificing our freedoms.

Protect IP and the Nation Defense Authorization Act both scare the living **** out of me considering that they are both coming at once. If these pass, where will big business and the government stop? People can only have so much taken away quietly before they do something about it.

A storm is coming.
